Frame the right problem
before you build.
Most teams don't fail because they can't execute. They fail because they start with the wrong problem.
TrueProblem is a problem-framing agent that helps you turn vague ideas, symptoms, and metrics into clear, well-scoped problems with real business impact — before roadmaps, code, or teams are committed.

Why TrueProblem Exists
Building is easy. Problem clarity isn't.
Teams jump to solutions when:
- •A metric drops
- •Leadership asks for "something"
- •A feature request sounds urgent
- •A roadmap needs filling
What follows:
- ⚠️Metrics mistaken for problems
- ⚠️Solutions framed as needs
- ⚠️Overly broad problem statements
- ⚠️Weeks of effort with unclear impact
TrueProblem exists to stop this — early.
Who It's For
TrueProblem is for people who decide what gets built:
Founders
Product managers
Business & ops leaders
Strategy teams
If you've ever said "We need to be clearer about the problem" — this is for you.
What TrueProblem Does
A thinking partner, not a solution generator
TrueProblem works with you, step by step, to:
Clarify the problem
Turn raw, messy inputs into a structured, decision-ready problem statement.
Catch framing mistakes early
Identify and correct common anti-patterns
- •Solutions framed as problems
- •Metrics framed as problems
- •Overly broad or vague framing
- •Symptoms mistaken for root causes
Anchor the problem to business impact
Tie the problem to what actually matters
- •Revenue
- •Cost
- •Profitability
- •Risk & compliance
- •Productivity or user experience
Size the opportunity (directionally)
Estimate order-of-magnitude impact using assumptions — no dashboards or heavy instrumentation.
Validate beliefs with a goal tree
Create a 2-level goal tree to test assumptions and reconfirm:
If we solve this, will the metric actually move?
